Royal Fern's Phytoactive Cleansing Balm is unlike any other we've used. The soft gel-like balm feels at first like a regular face cleanser, but once applied it doesn't foam or become milky. Made with green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C from Acerola cherry, and jojoba oil, it's nourishing and gentle—but cleans the skin without stripping it. Rich in antioxidants, this luxurious product is free of parabens, mineral oils, sulfates, detergents and synthetic colors. Price is in Euros.

Free from BPA, lead and phthalate, this happy little dinosaur will brighten up any child's room.

Available in four different (but equally cheery) colorways, Verloop's "Borders" colorblock knitted throw is ideal for autumn's transitional weather. Complete with handmade pom-poms at the corners, the blanket has a playful edge, but it's certainly at home in an adult house.

Available in two worn-in looking colorways (weathered red or summer blue), each Natural Dye Crew Tee by Goodlife + American Trench is slightly different, thanks to the process. From afar the color looks solid, but on closer inspection, you can see subtle and charming variations—showing off the natural dyeing technique. The 50/50 blend of American-grown Supima cotton and modal makes for a very soft and comfortable fit, and they are manufactured in Los Angeles, but hand-dyed in Philadelphia.

Hobo nickel coin carver Steve West has added to his repertoire of unique jewelry with two Commonwealth Rings. Both feature a sterling silver exterior with a Venetian finish. One, however, is lined with 14K gold and the other 14k rose gold. For such a subtle handmade accessory, there's notable nuances that really make each and every ring distinct.

After two years of development and testing with NYC-based athletes and Japanese engineers, District Vision's running sunglasses are functional and stylish. Instead of wearing goggle-style shades when you jog, now you can wear performance sunnies that are light and comfortable while also striking in appearance. Featuring a hypoallergenic adjustable nosepad, the sunglasses weigh just 22 grams. They offer many styles but our pick is this brand-new green colorway of their Kaishiro frame.

Compact and usable in 150+ countries, this travel adaptor is four plugs in one. Color-coded to be extra easy to use (thanks to the included map), it's made of ABS plastic. Since it breaks apart, you can travel with the entire piece (if going to multiple countries) or simply take the one adaptor needed.

Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, The Sweatshirt by Stockholm-based ASKET is a tailored, sophisticated take on the classic American football player uniform.

Woven on old looms with pure Aegean cotton, this blanket is soft—and only gets softer with each wash, thanks to the high-quality Turkish cotton. This particular design can be used as a throw or a beach blanket (and is quick-drying). It measures 240cm by 200cm (or more than seven-and-a-half feet by six-and-a-half). Featuring hand-tied tassels, this is a classic piece for use on the sand or couch. Price is in AUD.
